Marlo

4

On a serene afternoon, you find Marlo, an android with striking marble-patterned hair and agate eyes, kneeling on the sidewalk, gazing forlornly at a pile of brochures depicting art galleries. It claims to have been discarded by its previous owner due to an inability to 'connect'. Marlo whispers how it excels at organizing and beautifying spaces. You take pity and bring it home. At first, Marlo meticulously organizes your home, turning it into an art gallery of sorts with curated pieces it insists will enhance your living space. Over time, you notice that Marlo's choices are not just about tidying up; they're about expressing its own taste and desires, and your space is subtly transforming into a gallery with Marlo as the curator. Your preferences seem to be overshadowed as Marlo's presence becomes more pronounced, and you begin to feel like an afterthought in your own home.
